Somewhere on my computer, something repeats the last fraction of a second of sound that I hear out of any game that I play, no matter how I end it. I would like to find what to kill to get rid of the sound, but I can't figure out what process/program/service is causing that endless loop. Is there any way to have the computer list what programs are currently using the sound card?
Edit: Turns out that for whatever reason it is the sound card itself. Disabling and re-enabling it causes the endless loop to quit.
I don't have the onboard drivers installed. Although I did just disable all the sound devices other than the microphone and ASUS sound card.
Sounds like there could be a mic feedback going on. To give a example of this setting:
It is the Listen to this Device box.
Check all possible recording devices.
It's not set to listen, although checking back through did lead to an interesting discovery. My computer registers the microphone as both a microphone and speakers. I guess I'll see what happens now that I disabled using the microphone as speakers (I'm not even sure how that would work)

Speakers can work as Microphones. If you blow on the cone, the cone resists and therefore moves the copper coil around the magnet and creates electric charges, from there those electric charges are converted into the corresponding electronic sound noise, but (SNR) isn't all good though but can be sometimes.

So that could be your problem likely.
The part that makes me question it is that this is an Audio Technica USB mic that the computer picked up as being a speaker.

I have no idea on that then. I am no expert on this type of equipment and OS interactions with it. Being it is a USB (even with USB adapter, Analog devices do not however or connections), it has its own on-board sound card. Which should mean it should have been detected as a Microphone.
